When Harry glanced back up, Loki was now gone and Coulson was walking back in.
"It seems that you have friends. Someone's come to bail you out." Coulson said, unaware of the third person in the room.
Thor, having been told that he couldn't go back to Asgard and that his dad was dead, looked up at Coulson. Harry could see tear-tracks on his face, but in response to what Coulson said, Thor stood up and glanced out the door. Harry walked over and saw the scientist from earlier, Erik Selvig, if he remembered correctly. Harry decided that he would follow these two back to their residence and get a good night's sleep. He was very sleepy after the events of the day, especially with what happened with his magic and the god of mischief.
He followed them to the bar and then decided to apparate back to their temporary home. Harry walked in, still wearing the invisibility cloak, went to a corner of the main room and transfigured some pieces of paper to a sleeping bag and a pillow. Before he curled up in the sleeping bag in the corner, he cast a privacy spell around himself, so that no one could be able to see him or be able to hear him, well Thor probably would be able to at least sense him, but no one else would. He would find some way to research Loki in the morning.
The rising sun woke Harry up in the morning, along with noises in the kitchen. Sleepily, he opened his eyes, spotting Thor at the stove, working side by side with Jane. Oh, those two look like they're in love or at least on their way to it. At least something good came out of this. He glanced at the table where Erik and Darcy were sitting, probably reading the newspaper, since SHIELD had taken all of their findings. Over by the other table, the one that probably had held all of their scientific data, Harry saw a children's fable book. That might have some info on Thor and Loki.
Harry stood up and banished the sleeping bag and pillow that he had used and changed clothes all in one flick of his wrist. He had pulled off the invisibility cloak before he had gone to bed, so now he had just a notice-me-not spell on himself. He walked over to the table and made sure that the others were occupied and sat down and pulled the book over.
The book didn't have much information, other then saying that both Thor and Loki were gods of thunder and mischief, respectively, and were from Asgard. While he was flipping through the other pages of the book, he heard a knock at the door. Harry closed the book and turned around. What he saw at the door startled him! The Warriors Three and Lady Sif(having recognized them from Loki's memories) had come down to Earth! The scientists also looked very startled, Erik and Jane had dropped their coffee mugs in surprise.
"We found you!" one of the warriors said when Thor went up and opened the door.
"Friends, it is good to see you, though you should not have come!" Thor said.
While the five of them were chatting with each other, Harry had wandered out to the sidewalk. His magic had sensed something else, like it had alerted him to those four warriors arriving on earth and to Loki's arrival. Deciding to go investigate, he quickly shifted to his hawk form and took off. He flew a couple of miles past the town and when he looked ahead, he saw five or six black cars presumably carrying SHIELD agents parked around a peculiar circle rune on the ground. Harry flew onto one of the bigger cars and landed, which drew the attention of at least a couple agents and Coulson.
After a couple of minutes of watching the surrounding area, a big tornado like thing (Harry suspected that that was how the Bifrost worked) touched down on the ground for a couple of seconds completely making that little area of ground not visible. When the tornado was gone, a big hulking robot stood there. It was much like Tony's suit, but much, much bigger and silver and looked very dangerous.
Harry watched as Coulson attempted getting in contact with it, but failed. He was starting to get a bad feeling about it when the face mask dissolved and what looked like flames shot out at the row of SHIELD cars and at him. Harry instantly took off, but not before casting a shielding charm at the agents around him and himself.
Harry watched as the robot started to walk toward the town. The wizard, still in his hawk form, raced toward the town to warn everyone. As soon as he got there, a couple of minutes ahead of the danger, he saw that people had already been warned and were getting out of town. He flew down toward where he saw Thor, Lady Sif and the Warriors three and Jane, Darcy, and Erik.
When he landed on a car and gazed toward the entrance of the town, he saw that the robot and now he recognized it as the Destroyer from Loki's memories, had arrived and started blowing things up. Harry flew behind a car and shifted back to human form. He ran out from behind the car and shot a silent blasting spell at the Destroyer.
However, when the spell landed, it did nothing. It seems that the Destroyer is immune to magic. Well, shit! I shall leave the fighting to the warriors and hopefully, Thor, if he gets his powers back. Lady Sif and the Warriors Three had already started to try to fight it and to distract it, but again to no avail. The Destroyer had slowly began walking toward the scientists, starting to power up for another beam of destruction. Harry glanced at Lady Sif and the other Asgardian warriors, but they were out for the count and Thor was in the process of waking them up. Jane, Darcy and Erik were all focused on the Destroyer, shock still, watching the Destroyer get ready to target them.
All in one movement, the Destroyer let loose a red, fiery beam straight at Jane and Harry ran right in front of her. At the last minute, he threw up a shielding spell, but it was too late. Harry took the beam straight on and immediately died right on the spot. Ahh, here we go again.
Hermione had teased him about his saving people thing back in school and right on until he had left. It didn't matter whether or not he had known people for long, he just couldn't stop. It had started with Draco and then went on from there. But, he had died that one time when he was chasing rogue death eaters a couple of months after the battle of Hogwarts and it wasn't pleasant then, too. He had actually died, and it took him a good ten minutes to 'wake up' again.
This time when he woke up, he could sense some people around him. When he opened his eyes, Thor, Jane, Darcy, Erik, the Warriors Three, and Coulson were staring down into his face with sadness and concern on their faces.
"So I guess the Destroyer's dead?" Harry croaked sheepishly. Once Harry had spoken, everyone's eyes had started to grow bigger and bigger.
At that question, everyone startled and then talked at the same time.
"But, you were dead just a minute ago..." Darcy wondered.
"Ah, well, umm, I guess I was, again. And that sucked too." Harry muttered.
"Yes, my friend, the Destroyer is dead. How did you know that it was called that?" Thor asked. Harry looked up at him and saw that he was holding Mjolnir in his right hand. So Thor is back to being a full-on thunder god now. Harry decided not to answer that question because it was rather private since it involved his brother and his own magic.
"Thanks for saving my life." Jane said quietly.
"Your welcome." Harry replied.
"Harry, I thought you were back with Tony. What... how did you... you haven't told me everything, have you?" Coulson asked, "You died!"
"Oh, I usually don't mean to die, but hey, I have this saving people thing, and well, it's complicated." Harry commented sheepishly.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Jane asked, worriedly.
"I'm fine," Harry assured her.
"Well, it's time to go back to Asgard. I need to have a talk with my brother. Thank you, Harry." Thor said.
"Be careful with Loki right now, Thor. He's quite unstable now." Harry told him, and with that, the Asgardians walked over to Jane's van and Thor pulled Jane into his arms and took off into the air. Harry slowly stood up, making sure that nothing needed further healing. He still had a big hole in his shirt, but other then that, his body felt fine. That left Harry with only Coulson next to him.
"Harry, I believe that Nick Fury would like to talk to you." Coulson asked in a serious manner.
"What about? The Avengers Initiative?" Harry replied.
"How do you..." Coulson sighed.
"I had Jarvis look you guys up and I aided in keeping that investigation secret."
"Oh, well, let's go back to SHIELD headquarters in New York. Fury asked to see you anyway after I report back." Coulson said.
"Okay, yeah, I'm interested. You're not going to kill me if I say no, right?" Harry replied.
"No, we don't kill people. We just... keep an eye on them." Coulson said.
"Well, I'll meet you at Stark Tower, then. You'll need to guide me to the HQ because I've never been to New York before." Harry commented. Coulson's seen me die, so I figure I don't need to hide anything from him just now.
"I'll see you tomorrow, then." Coulson replied and then proceeded to give Harry directions to SHIELD HQ.
